Guys, I found something very interesting I don't think anyone else has posted about that HDRoom article:

Quote: New Skylanders Swap Force Characters, Details, Images and More

Skylanders Swap Force is an incredibly ambitious game whose development began before Spyro's Adventure shipped more than two years ago. Apart from Vicarious Visions having to animate close to 200 characters, they also had to create the upper and lower halves of all the Swap Force Skylanders. On top of that, each upper half moves based upon which lower half is attached. For example, if Night Shift's top is on Roller Blade's bottom, then the arms of Night Shift will move as if he is skating with the legs of Roller Blade.

Lower in the article, it shows the pictures of Roller Brawl's figure and artwork. It's obvious she isn't a swapper! So is it just some oversight, and Roller Blade really means Roller Brawl, and they just got their details wrong or something, or did they meant to say Freeze Blade, or is there ANOTHER swapper named Roller Blade, possibly even a Swapper version of Roller Brawl?

to be honest, i think Roller Blade is supposed to be Freeze Blade, it's probably a typo

I really hope Cynder returns to this brand new Skylanders game. Wouldn't be way cooler if there were a Dark Cynder based on the one from "The Legend of Spyro"?

Hmm.. you're probably right, I'll update my post.

Does anyone else think this guy looks like a puffer fish?

Gameplay footage.

Hold one so can someone list the new characters we know about after E3 (including unamed - maybe with pics) and what to come.

I think those videos are somewhat old news.

Apparently, Magna Charge's bottom is the one where it can pick up stuff. Night Charge was picking up those little glowing enemies and it looked sorta awkward.

ATM we should know 20 by now. I've been listing all of the Skylanders in order to keep track of what's left and the only thing I can be certain of is that with all the known characters with shown figures, there is only one dig, rocket, stealth and whatever the tornado means left for the swaplanders.

If anyone has contacts at E3, If you all remember, Power A or one of the other accessory companys had a whole skylanders section last time, like it might be dispalyed in a store, and it had the entire poster and all we had was a blurry image, Maybe something is there like that again, doubt it, but who knows

The do have a booth and they already posted a pic of it. I don't see a poster or anything that would show all of the characters from SWAP Force but my contact is already headed over there tomorrow.

Will the new game allow us to nickname Swap Force Skylanders?

No mention of that anywhere, but I'd presume so.

I'd love nicknames be two-parters so you can create custom swap names.
I'm gonna name Rattle Shake (if I get him) Rattle Snipe or Roy Rogers (I feel so old saying that).

Most of these new figs look bad. o.O There was a certain charm to those that you did collect in the first two games in how they overall appeared and until I see them up close so far maybe Rattle Shake is the only interesting one and Fire Kraken. The rest I could care less about, they're downright horrible.

Yeah, and FB is blocked in some places. I used my VPN and here are some screenshots (in order of appearance):

I think I'm in love. <3

It reminds me of a "certain" Skylander, that got meme-fied.

Reveal Spoiler

This is what I think it looks like. :3

Just putting that back up there. However, it does kinda look like a puffer fish.

After watching that Gamespot 23-minute long gameplay demo, I'm defintely getting this even if it means skipping Sonic Lost World and Smash Brothers 3DS!

I'm getting the game because I feel obligated too.

Like when I drag myself out of bed each day, to get my work done.

I sit down when I'm done and say to myself, "What's the point in this? What's the reward? Of working and getting nowhere in your life?" Then, I look at the beautiful television screen, and know instantly.

There is always a false reality, among the pixels. Gaming is love, gaming is life.


~Another word from the random

So much news I can't handle the epicness!

Seeing as there are over 20 bonus missions acquirable, does this mean over 20 levels?
Also, bad news:
Quote: 'Skylanders Swap Force' Gets Level Cap 20 And New Starstrike, Fryno, Rattle Shake, Free Ranger Figures

Although you won’t be able to use your old Giants and Spyro’s adventure packs in Swap Force, you can use the power up items and there will be new expansion packs for Swap Force. Along with the new figure packs there are both adventure and battle packs that make the total number of toys with the game this year around 60 pieces.

I guess it's not too bad, we just can't use adventure pack items like the Pirate ship.

why did they chance magna charge blast zone and wash buklers artwork :s

I'm guessing they can't be used because swap force takes place in a different place than the 2 previous games

I like these dudes!

I knew it the life swap does have a drill for a bottom, and the tech looks like a general and the air corelander is supposedly a gronckle that has been mixed with wrecking ball's cuteness + a pufferfish (called it), and the water is holding a swordfish as a weapon

Love the How To Train Your Dragon reference. :3

I love that wreckingball puffer fish cloud hybrid. It's a must have for me. :3

Yeah I got the Air guy right he's some kind of spike bat. Reminds me of the Pokemon Woobat fused with Wrecking Ball. Really liking that spider general guy and the drill guy.

I like the Water guy.

Ahh, Coinoptv againz. With new Skylanders to show~

he tough fire kraken is rattle shake lolz

Snapshots from the video:
The awesome steampunk arachnid commando swapper dude

Unknown sharklander

The unknown pokemon-bat-thing/gronkle/wrecking ball Air corelander.

S3 Terrafin (I may actually consider using his punching path for once :P)


Non-Volcanic S3 Eruptor

reminds me of monster inc spider boss mixed with tresure planet robot

I'm just gonna call the missing life mole looking Skylander in the video Mole Digger. I think that's his name for now because he looks like a mole and his feet is a giant drill so he digs. Just for kicks maybe the shark with the swordfish sword should be called Sharkbait.

Yeah... I seriously hope this guy is one of the initial release characters, he's my new favorite! As for the Gronklelander/Gronklander/Woolander/Woobatlander/whatever, I honestly can't think of anything to say...

Wait do you mean the mole guy or the Spiderlegs here? Just curious to know which one is your new favorite.

The arachnidlander is who I'm referring to.

Oh yeah he is pretty cool. In fact I currently have planned most of which Swaplanders I'm going with already. Spider guy is the one I like over Magna Charge, Fire Kraken probably over Blast Zone, Night Shift over Rattle Shake, Hoot Loop until I know the other, Wash Buckler over Freeze Blade and the mole over Stink Bomb. Waiting for earth and air to finish to decide from there.

I don't like how Stink Bomb looks, but his gameplay in the demos looks pretty fun.

spiky ball dragon looking thing hes cute i wanna get him or her

for some weird reason i have a feeling the air core is male

yeah i think his attack will involved shooting spikes charging or shooting fire spike breath

This forum is so AWESOME!

Since I can't watch the video posted above, and in the previous page, I would like to ask you guys a question: does Rattle Shake slither, in game, or does ne jump with he's body, like a spring? Again, sorry if this wasn't even showed, but since i can't watch the videos, I don't know. Thanks!

drek there no video yet of rattle shake in game play

Oh he does kinda look like a hybrid of Waternoose and John Silver or was it Bender you meant.

Somethin' tells me he'll look with Blast Zone's upper half. He's a climbing type (obviously), wonder what other abilities he has? The video says no info so far.

I know I'm a day late and dollar short but I finally received all the pictures of the new figures that I was supposed to get earlier. I threw them all up in a slideshow over on my blog if anyone is still interested.

Nice, btw LC's prices have been confirmed, can't remember but either 11.99 or 10.99.

Wow these guys look very interesting with these close ups you got. Thanks for the images portalflip you are really good.
